I Wouldn't Do That to You (snippet) Songtext

von Carey Ott

Looking at the soft skin of yesterday's light fall upon you
Rising up off the pillowy haze that we gaze through
It's the song that I sing because I have to
I make a choice to raise my voice but you're hard to refuse

I wouldn't do that to you
I wouldn't do that to you
I couldn't drag it out
You couldn't settle me down
I wouldn't do that to you

Peel off the yellowing pages of memories in black and white
When love was just a sweet idea we could lie beside
And it's a price that we pay because we want to
But it's worse to see the hurt when she's so much to lose

I wouldn't do that to you
I wouldn't do that to you
I couldn't drag it out
You couldn't settle me down
I wouldn't do that to you

(To you, to you)

Trying on the tough skin of Saturday night falls around you
I'm thinking of the billowing blaze that surrounded you
Now it's the song that you sing because you have to, not 'cause you want to
And it's the hardest thing to choose when there's so much to lose

I wouldn't do that to you
I wouldn't do that to you (no)
I couldn't drag it out
You couldn't settle me down
I wouldn't do that to you
